At the November 10th, 2015 meeting, Lion Colin was presented with a Certificate of Appreciation by Lion Presdient Margaret.

Visitors from the Lions Club of Canmore
At the June 2015 meeting, Mountainview Lions Club was pleased to give its warm welcome to two visitors from the Lions Club of Canmore - President Michael Fleger and Member Sharon Fraser. Lions Michael and Sharon were invited to attend so that President Betty Ann could return the club's gavel which she so craftily "lifted" at an earlier event in Canmore.
District Governor Lion Don Edy Stays for Supper!
It is always inspiring to have a District Governor spend time with a club's members and March 10th was no exception. DG Lion Don Edy arrived with Zone 1B Chair Jason Knudtson and 2nd Vice District Governor Gail Haight to present Chevrons for long service and talk about the importance of communications, the "ASK 1" initiative, and the "Strengthen The Pride" motto of Lions International President Lion Joe Preston.
Now what do you suppose President Lion Betty Ann and DG Lion Don Edy are looking for?
New Members Inducted in January 2015
On Tuesday, January 27th two new members joined the Mountainview Lions Club. Suji Asanga and Colleen Sikorski went through their oaths and obligations at a beautifully candle-lit ceremony orchestrated by PDG Margaret Young and 2nd VDG Gail Haight. Both Colleen and Suji have been active at many service events and fund raising activities months prior to their induction. They are a very welcomed addition to an already active, busy club.
